Dead
In an abyss of madness
I am overwhelmed by the fog
It feels like I die
I crawl, I bleed
I suffocate, I choke
I fall, I feed
I float in the ocean
Of crimson and scraps
I lay with the trash
And to the filth I’m entrapped
Savory revulsion to
The taste the buzzard crows
The sparrow peaks loudly
And my heart shatters so
I am dead in my skin
I am cringing, growing thin
I am walking on my toes
Chipping flesh and cracking wind
A reverie of bliss
Is at my fingertips
Yet my limbs are ripped apart
And I am left a torn misfit
Torn inside
Torn abroad
Left to hide
Or a forced façade
Inflaming the drama
Inflaming the rage
Infecting the scabs
And growing younger by age
My mind is dwindling
As my eyes, grow black
For the windows are clogged
And there is no return back
I am overwhelmed by the fog
Marinating deep
Melting fast within the bog
With no desires to weep
As I disrobe my flesh
There lays a throbbing heart
A draining organ
And it feels like I die
My blood spills
And infiltrates the sky
Ultimately dead
I am holding on to my faith
I am dripping with red
And sweating beads of disgrace
The buzzard flies away
To a more deserving prey
I am clinging to my skin
Forever distraught and in dismay
I am overwhelmed by my state
And often offered a hand
But I am hollow within my shell
And willingly
Dead I stand
